This book is awesome. It was written by the guy that is currently teaching my class (Electromagnetic Fields I). He is a crazy old man, but he knows his stuff(Johnk)!! Anyone who is taking a class of this subject, use this book. He's pretty much the 'Father' of Fields. Awesome teacher, great book!

I attended the University of Colorado, Boulder as a graduate student in EE in the mid-1980's . I took Dr. Johnk's classes in Electromagnetics, and was very inspired by him personally. He has some sort of 3-D visualization coprocessor in his brain, and the explanatory drawings he made in class reflected that anatomical curiosity, as do the drawings and explanations in this text book of his. In this book, he has pulled together all the important concepts of engineering electromagnetics. I own a bunch of other books on electromagnetics for use as references, but this one is the one I use consistently. My copy of this book now looks like it was dragged down the road behind a car, just from over-use. Soon I will have to buy a new copy.

I own the first edition of the text. Carl presents the material in a very logical and thoughful manner. I have never been as impressed of a textbook before. It reads well and has amazing hand-drawn figures.
A must have for any electrical engineering student, physicist, or fields fanatic.

I'm taking Adv. EM fields from the author now, and he is in his mid nineties and still teaching (very inspirational). The book is timeless...

After matriculating to the Univ of Colorado,took undergrad/grad course in EMAG with this author. He is definitely a professor emeritus, and after many years of working as research engineer, I would like to emphatically state that this gentle, well tempered, respectful and pleasant man is the best there is when it come to this subject matter. His motivation for continuing lecturing is simple, to impart knowledge to his students ad infinitum... Buy this book and you'll never regret.

I took Carl T.A. Johnk's electromagnetics classes at the University of Colorado back in the early 80's. He inspired my career in microwaves and antennas. His lectures were always instructive and entertaining (if you can believe it for an EM class). His book embodies his colorful and insightful lectures.

I'm a graduate school student in Korea. though I've read many books about electromagnetic, I think that this book is the best among those. and I think I need this book certainly for my improvement of study. thank you !
